I have a real life peeve. My boss is very demanding in all aspects of my job; therefore, I have become very knowledgable about my job.
I have been commended and thanked for above and beyond performance, so why is it that I have trained the last three assistant managers, which were new employees off the street, to do a job that I have been trying to get….Geez.

Vanity and arrogance have always been two of my most bothersome pet peeves. I have a friend who constantly fishes for compliments, compliments herself, and really reads too far into peoples’ gestures. She insists that all guys think she’s good looking and want her. Even when a guy is talking to me, winking, smiling, and complimenting me, she thinks he is hitting on her! This frustrates me so badly! I’ve even addressed the issue, but she keeps talking about how all men like her so much. This aspect of her attitude reminds me of the fisherman who always thinks he has a bite, but keeps pulling in seaweed and old boots! Even with the proof on the end of his line, he insists he caught a big one!

My peeve is when you go to dinner in a restaurant and are ready to pay the bill. When the waitress takes your check and the money and says “do you want change?” without even looking at it. If the waitress would simply take the money to the cash register and ring it through, she would conclude (on her own) that we do not intend to leave her an eight or ten dollar tip. This is not an isolated incident. It happens to us all the time. I just think this is rude and wonder how such a comment got started. Wouldn’t it be nicer if the waitress said “I’ll be right back with your change”??? Then we could leave her tip on the table when we leave like we are supposed to.

One of the things I’ve never been able to understand is why turkey processors package the neck and/or giblets inside the cavity of the turkey, then fasten the whole thing closed with that big metal bar. Many times I’ve got the turkey thawed to the point where I can go ahead and cook it, but the inside is still frozen and I can’t get the neck etc. out. I have given up and cooked the thing with the neck still inside, once even with that paper bag of giblets and hearts still inside the cavity. I always cook my turkey enough so that every part of it is completely done, but I sometimes would like to start before it is completely defrosted. Why can’t the processors put the neck etc. somewhere else, or at least package this stuff in plastic so you can get it out without leaving shredded pieces of paper inside the bird?

I am so tired of people holding me responsible for other people’s actions. See, one of my friends has a major thing for my brother in law. But, he is seeing someone else. The tough part is that he flirts back with my friend all the time. Now, my brother in law’s girlfriend is holding me responsible because my friend flirted with him! Why is it my fault or responsibility to help or hinder in that situation? He flirted back . . . what am I supposed to do? Tell him to stop it? I don’t feel I should be held responsible for that in the least. Any thoughts?

Why do so many moron drivers insist on driving in inclement, foggy or twilight conditions with no headlights whatsoever??
Come on, people, it doesn’t have to be midnight to require headlights! Just because you can see to drive doesn’t mean your vehicle itself is easily visible!
So what if it’s mid-day; if it’s rainy or foggy, you should have your headlights on. Hey, you don’t even have to do it to be considerate of other drivers–do it for yourself for your own personal safety.
If other drivers can see you, there’s less chance of a wreck involving YOUR vehicle. Be for real, people! You may be able to rationalize blocking the left-hand passing lane (especially since many say they do it to force others to obey the speed limit–a “safety measure,” in their minds), but there is NO good reason for not taking a safety precaution as simple as turning on your headlights in dim driving conditions.

Something that really bugs me is the person in the line at the discount store or grocery store who takes his 55 items to the express lane. Why do you think they call them express lanes. And to make it even worse one of my daugters works in a discount store and in the name of customer service the cashiers have been instructed to take the jerk who has no consideration for other shoppers and ring up his/her order anyway. As far as I am concerned I have the strongest desire to start grabbing the offender’s items off the counter and tossing them back into his/her cart. Better yet…why not MY cart????

Why is it that whenever you enter a certain store and the sales people are all over you when you just want to browse and be left alone, but then when you need them, they are nowhere to be found!! Also, whenever you find something you don’t need around the house you toss it aside, but later on you can never find it when you really need it!!!

Ok, Ive got a huge peeve. I was at the toll booth, and when I was going through, the toll person over-charged me and made me pay more than I was worth! I’m serious! The toll was $.75, and she charged me a $1.50! OK, I paid her $.75, and said, “Good day, madam.” just as I was pressing the gas, she said, “Wait Lady!” I stopped, thinking that I’d dropped my toll slip or something. “You didn’t pay me enough!” she said. I said, “The sign says that I owe $.75. I’ve paid you $.75, so, please let me through.” The lady said, “Not untill you pay me $1.50.” So, I used my extra change to pay her the money, and since there were more tolls on the road, I had to spend extra time taking backroads and byways to avoid the tolls! (annoyed sigh) Oh yeah, and I was late too because of her.
